Where in an action for electrical work done, certain counts declared upon an express contract to wire defendant's home according to plans and specifications, and one of those counts set out the contract according to which all wires were to be installed according to underwriters' rules, but the uncontroverted evidence indicated that the wiring was not installed according to underwriters' rules held, that the failure to give an affirmative charge as to the counts declaring on the contract was error.
